Moving to a new state

Moving to Utah



The move to Utah was interesting. My soon-to-be ex-husband, my trans adult son, and myself, all in a Uhaul for two days. Oh, and I forgot the cat. The first day was good. We made it all the way from Mesa AZ to Kanab Utah with no one getting mad. I know, I was shocked too.


The second day we made it almost to Salt Lake City before my soon-to-be ex-husband (Gene) and Frank (my son) got into a political argument. I should have known there would be some nonsense along the way with those two. 

We were all tired, hot, and hungry by the time we made it to the storage unit. There was even more fighting there. The first night we were all able to stay in one hotel room. The second night I had to get two rooms. Gene and I in one room, Frank and the cat in the other. Do you believe that fool thought we might have sex? What a loaf?

He's sleeping with his high school sweetheart, our marriage is ending and he thinks for one second I would let him touch me? By the way, I am certainly not bitter about the break-up. But when he decided he was done, he lost all rights to treating me like his piece of property.

Sorry for the rant, just something I needed to get off my chest.

I've been in Utah for a full week now. They hired me at Walmart for one position and they stuck me in another. So I applied at Lowe's and they have already hired me. I start there tomorrow. I will be a cashier. I have worked that position at a different Lowe's in the not-so-distant past. I enjoyed the job and the pay is pretty good. Hopefully, I will get to go full-time quickly. 


The first full day I was here we drove to Nevada to drop the cat off with Frank's best friend. Frank, my oldest daughter (Lindsey), and I stopped off in Wendover on the way back. We went to the rainbow casino, and I won $200. We also stopped off at the salt flats. That was an experience. The salt looks like a sheet of thick ice. It kind of messed me up stepping on it at first. I was expecting it to be slippery but it wasn't.


A couple of days ago Lindsey and I took off for the day and went to the aquarium. It was pretty neat. It was the first one I had ever been to. I fed as many of the animals as I could include the stingrays. Yes, I touched the stingray. Just so you know, they are very slimy.

I have enjoyed watching stranger things with my granddaughter in the evenings and listening to the jokes my grandson has to tell. They are the best kids.

I think that is about it for this week.

Thirty days after moving out of the marital house

 Going from friendly to ugly It's been 33 days since I arrived in Utah from Arizona. A lot has changed. On Tuesday I will start my third job. Hopefully, it will be the last one. I signed up for shipt, it's a shopping job, that I can do on my days off for a little extra cash and after what I did yesterday, I'm going to need it. Let me start by saying that my little family has been through two major life events since I moved in with them. I won't go into details, let's just say, neither event was pleasant. My soon-to-be-ex didn't ask how everyone was handling it, not really, he just commenced to calling the one in question an idiot. Which pissed me right off. How many mistakes had he made that I overlooked or helped him through? I told him he was an idiot for wrecking our marriage and one day he'd wake up and realize what a catch I was. He had the nerve to say I'd do the same. Wake up and realize he was a catch? He cheated more than once and lied to my fac...

What I did first when we decided to divorce

Step one, the hardest step It was 19 days ago when my husband and I decided we were going to divorce. I never thought in a million years that we would get to a point that we would admit to ourselves and each other that we were no longer in love. So many things ran through my mind. See, I had been a homemaker and mother for much of our marriage. If I were to tell anyone that knew us a year ago that we were splitting up, they would have checked the calendar to see if it was April Fool's Day. It's not that we had such an amazing marriage, it was because we had become such talented actors that we even had ourselves fooled. I cried, not for my failed marriage, but for my wasted time. So much time that I will never get back. We hadn't been in love for a long time and I could have done so much with that wasted time. There were scary truths that had to be faced. We didn't have to worry about the custody of children. Our children are grown and living their own lives. We didn...
